Azeez’s lawyer, Jahaberdeen Mohamed Yunoos, said his client was remanded under Section 117 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
“The magistrate (Shah Wira Abdul Halim) granted the remand after submissions were made,” he told reporters outside the court complex here.
Azeez and his brother, who is the general manager of a company, were arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) yesterday.
Previous reports said they had been detained to assist in a probe into the appointment of contractors in Tabung Haji projects.
An MACC source said the case is being probed under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.
